ABSTRACT: 9,9-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene (xant(PiPr2)2) derivatives RhCl{xant(PiPr2)2} (1) and IrHCl{xant(PiPr2)[iPrPCH(Me)CH2]} (2) react with diphenylsilane and triethylsilane to give the saturated d6compounds RhHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiHPh2 (3), SiEt3 (4)) and IrHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiHPh2 (5), SiEt3 (6)). Complexes 3 and 5 undergo a Cl/H position exchange process via the MH{xant(PiPr2)2} (M = Rh (8), Ir (E)) intermediates. The rhodium complex 3 affords the square planar d8-silyl derivative Rh(SiClPh2){xant(PiPr2)2} (7), whereas the iridium derivative 5 gives IrH2(SiClPh2){xant(PiPr2)2} (9), which is stable. In agreement with the formation of 7, the reactions of 8 with silanes are a general method to prepare square planar d8rhodium-silyl derivatives. Thus, the addition of triethylsilane and triphenylsilane to 8 initially leads to the dihydrides RhH2(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiEt3 (10), SiPh3 (11)), which lose molecular hydrogen to afford Rh(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiEt3 (12), SiPh3 (13)). Treatment of 7 with NaBArF4·2H2O leads to the cationic five-coordinate d6-species [RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]BArF4 (14) through a silylene intermediate. According to the participation of the latter in the formation of 14, this cation is an efficient catalyst precursor for the monoalcoholysis of diphenylsilane with a wide range of alcohols, reaching turnover frequencies at 50% of conversion between 4000 and 76 500 h−1. The X-ray structures of 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 14 are also reported.

INTRODUCTION Complexes containing diphosphine pincer ligands are attracting increased interest because their high stability and disposition of the donor atoms allow them to develop a marked ability to form less common coordination polyhedra and favor unusual metal oxidation states.1 Thus, in the search for new transitionmetal catalysts, more robust than those based on transM(PiPr3)2 metal fragments, we synthesized the ligands 9,9dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene (xant(PiPr2)2) and 4,6-bis(diisopropylphosphino)dibenzofuran (dbf(PiPr2)2) three years ago.2 These diphosphines were subsequently used to prepare POP-complexes of Os(II), Os(III), Os(IV), and Os(VI), some of which proved to be promising alternatives to ruthenium for the direct synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines, with liberation of molecular hydrogen,3 and for the regioselective head-to-head (Z)-dimerization of terminal alkynes.4 We have recently widened our work to rhodium and iridium. Thus, following the previously developed methodology to access the chemistry of the trans-Rh(PiPr3)2 and trans-Ir(PiPr3)2 metal fragments, we performed the reactions of the dimers [M(μ-Cl)(C8H14)2]2 (M = Rh, Ir) with xant(PiPr2)2 that afforded the square planar rhodium(I) derivative RhCl{xant(PiPr2)2} (1)5 and the iridium(III) complex IrHCl{xant(PiPr2)[iPrPCH(Me)CH2]} (2) in high yields (Scheme 1).6 Now, we have investigated the reactivity of 1 and 2 toward silanes. Reactions of transition-metal complexes with silanes are of great current interest due to the relevance of M-SiR 3 intermediates7 in transition-metal catalyzed processes such as © 2013 American Chemical Society

Tilley12 has described synthetic pathways to a variety of (PNP)Ir−silyl and −silylene complexes (PNP = bis(o-diisopropylphosphinophenyl)amide) and explored the catalytic activation of the silylene species in the silane alcoholysis and aminolysis and for the hydrosilylation of ketones and alkenes. Ozerov13 has provided insight into the relative thermodynamic affinity of the (PNP)Rh skeleton toward the oxidative addition of various halosilanes and how it compares with its affinity toward addition of other species. Milstein14 has reported on the synthesis of rhodium and iridium complexes containing the triphosphine ligand iPr2P(CH2)3P(Ph)(CH2)3PiPr2 (PP2) and described their reactivity toward HSi(SEt)3. This paper reports on the similarities and differences in the behavior of the metal fragments Rh{xant(P iPr2)2} and Ir{xant(PiPr2)2} toward silanes and on the catalytic activity of the five-coordinate d6-complex [RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]BArF4 in the monoalcoholysis of diphenylsilane.

So, the coordination geometry around the metal center can be rationalized as a distorted octahedron with the silyl group transdisposed to the oxygen atom of the diphosphine (Si(1)−Rh− O(1) = 158.32(6)°) and the hydride trans-disposed to the chloride ligand. This ligand disposition is consistent with a concerted cis-addition of the Si−H bond along the O−Rh−Cl axis of 1 with the silyl group directed toward the chloride ligand.15 The Rh−Si bond length of 2.2660(10) Å compares well with Rh(III)−Si single bond distances previously reported.16 The 1H, 31P{1H}, and 29Si{1H} NMR spectra of 3 and 4, in benzene-d6, at room temperature are consistent with the structure shown in Figure 1. Thus, the 1H NMR spectra show hydride resonances at −15.90 (3) and −16.29 (4) ppm which appear as double triplets with H−Rh and H−P coupling constants of about 24 and 15 Hz, respectively. In agreement with equivalent PiPr2 groups, the 31P{1H} NMR spectra contain at 42.9 (3) and 41.6 (4) ppm doublets with P−Rh coupling constants of 112 and 120 Hz, respectively. In the 29Si{1H} NMR spectra, the silyl groups display at 4.1 (3) and 40.3 (4) ppm double triplets with Si−Rh and Si−P coupling constants of 36 and 13 Hz (3) and 32 and 11 Hz (4). Iridium is more reducing than rhodium and shows higher tendency to form coordinatively saturated compounds.6,17 As a consequence, the iridium dimer [Ir(μ-Cl)(C8H14)2]2 reacts with xant(PiPr2)2 to afford the saturated d6 complex 2 (Scheme 1). However, the latter undergoes demetalation by reductive elimination to act as a synthon of the unsaturated d8 species IrCl{xant(PiPr2)2} (A),6 the iridium(I) counterpart of 1. Thus, at room temperature, the treatment of toluene solutions of 2 with 1.1 equiv of diphenylsilane and triethylsilane affords IrHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiHPh2 (5), SiEt3 (6)), the

Thus, at room temperature, the treatment of toluene solutions of this compound with 1.1 equiv of diphenylsilane and triethylsilane leads to the saturated d6hydride-silyl derivatives RhHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiHPh2 (3), SiEt3 (4)), which were isolated as white solids in 81% (3) and 56% (4) yield, according to eq 1.

Under these conditions, the reaction is quantitative after 5 days, as judged by 1 H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy.

view of its structure. The coordination geometry around the rhodium atom is almost square planar19 with the diphosphine coordinated in the expected pincer fashion (P(1)−Rh−P(2) = 161.97(3)°, P(1)−Rh−O = 81.25(5)°, P(2)−Rh−O = 81.19(5)°) and the silyl group trans disposed to the oxygen atom of the diphosphine (Si−Rh−O = 179.35(6)°). The greatest deviation from the best plane through the rhodium, silicon, P(1), oxygen, and P(2) atoms is 0.0506(4) Å for Rh. The Rh−Si bond length of 2.2581(8) Å compares well with those reported for the few Rh(I)-silyl complexes characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.19,20 In agreement with the high symmetry of the molecule, the 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra show two signals for the methyl groups of the phosphine isopropyl substituents (δ1H, 1.19 and 1.01; δ13C, 20.3 and 17.9) and a signal for the methyl substituents of the central heterocycle (δ1H, 1.24; δ13C, 31.0), whereas the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum contains at 49.4 ppm a doublet with a P−Rh coupling constant of 153.1 Hz. The silyl group displays at 49.2 ppm a double triplet with Si−Rh and Si−P coupling constants of 82 and 22 Hz, respectively, in the 29Si{1H} NMR spectrum. The formation of 7 could be rationalized according to pathways a and b of Scheme 3. The reductive elimination of HSiClPh2 from 3 should initially afford the previously described square planar rhodium(I) derivative RhH{xant(PiPr2)2} (8).6 The oxidative addition of the H−Si bond of HSiClPh2 along the O−Rh−H axis of 8 with the silyl group directed toward the oxygen atom of the diphosphine should lead to the cisdihydride intermediate B (pathway a), while the same addition with the silyl group on the hydride ligand should afford the trans-dihydride intermediate C (pathway b). The reductive elimination of molecular hydrogen from B would be a fast

skeleton is T-shaped with the iridium atom situated in the common vertex and P(1)−Ir−P(2), P(1)−Ir−O, and P(2)− Ir−O angles of 155.00(4)°, 80.19(8)°, and 77.45(9)°, respectively. Thus, the octahedral coordination polyhedron around the metal center is as that of the rhodium analogue, with the silyl group trans to the oxygen atom of the diphosphine (Si−Ir−O = 179.66(9)°), whereas the hydride lies trans to the chloride ligand. The Ir−Si bond length of 2.3402(14) Å agrees well with those reported for other Ir(III)SiR3 derivatives.18 The 1H, 31P{1H}, and 29Si{1H} NMR spectra of 5 and 6, in benzene-d6, at room temperature are consistent with those of 3 and 4 and with the structure shown in Figure 2. The presence of a hydride ligand in these compounds is strongly supported by the 1H NMR spectra, which contain at −19.91 (5) and −20.06 (6) ppm triplets with H−P coupling constants of 14.5 and 16.0 Hz, respectively. As expected for equivalent PiPr2 groups, the 31P{1H} NMR spectra show singlets at 29.9 (5) and 29.0 (6) ppm. The silyl groups display at −36.3 (5) and −7.6 (6) ppm triplets with Si−P coupling constants of 10 and 8 Hz, respectively, in the 29Si{1H} NMR spectra. Cl/H Position Exchange.

reaction given the cis-orientation of the hydride ligands and the marked preference of the Rh{xant(PiPr2)2} skeleton for the unsaturated d8 species. However, the trans-disposition of the hydride ligands in C prevents the three-centered transition state for their reductive elimination. So, the loss of molecular hydrogen requires the previous dissociation of the oxygen atom of the diphosphine, which should became bidentate.21 The dissociation of the oxygen atom of the diphosphine should allow the formation of the dihydrogen intermediate or transition state D, which could easily give 7. Complex 5, the iridium counterpart of 3, is also unstable in solution. In toluene at 50 °C, it evolves into the trans-dihydride IrH2(SiClPh2){xant(PiPr2)2} (9) that is the iridium counterpart of intermediate C (Scheme 3). The transformation is quantitative after 2 days, as judged by 1H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. The formation of 9 can be rationalized in a similar manner to that of C via a square planar iridium(I) monohydride intermediate IrH{xant(PiPr2)2} (E), analogous to 8, which should be generated by reductive elimination of HSiClPh2. Thus, the subsequent oxidative addition of the H−Si bond of the formed silane along the O−Ir−H axis of E with the silyl group directed toward the hydride ligand could afford the trans-dihydride (Scheme 4). In favor of this proposal, we have observed that the addition of 2.0 equiv of diphenylsilane to a benzene-d6 solution of 6 in an NMR tube at 50 °C affords 9, via 5, and HSiEt3. In this context, it should be noted that complex 9 is more stable than 5 in spite of the destabilization produced by the strong trans influence of the hydride ligands mutually trans disposed.22 This fact is consistent with density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the model complexes Os(SiR3)Cl(CO)(PH3)2 (R = F, Cl, OH, Me), which have revealed that a linear combination of Si-R σ* orbitals is responsible for some π-acceptor capacity of the silyl group. This component increases its contribution to the bond as the electronegativity of the substituent at the silicon atom also increases.23 The difference in behavior between rhodium and iridium in this Cl/ H position exchange process agrees well with the higher preference of iridium for the saturated d6 species.6,17 The trans-dihydride 9 was isolated as a white solid in 60% yield and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. An ORTEP drawing of the molecule is shown in Figure 4. The structure proves the Cl/H position exchange and the trans disposition of the hydride ligands (H(01)−Ir−H(02) = 173(3)°). The coordination polyhedron around the iridium

atom can be rationalized as a distorted octahedron with the diphosphine mer-coordinated (P(1)−Ir−P(2) = 159.01(4)°, P(1)−Ir−O = 81.04(7)°, P(2)−Ir−O = 80.77(7)°) and the silyl group trans disposed to the oxygen atom of the diphosphine (Si−Ir−O = 167.72(7)°). The Ir−Si bond length of 2.2655(11) Å compares well with that of 6. The 1H, 31P{1H}, and 29Si{1H} NMR spectra in benzene-d6, at room temperature, are consistent with the structure shown in Figure 4. In agreement with the presence of trans-hydrides, the 1 H NMR spectrum shows at −4.90 ppm a triplet with a H−P coupling constant of 16.6 Hz. As expected for equivalent PiPr2 groups, the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum contains at 47.9 ppm a singlet. The silyl group displays at −4.8 ppm a triplet with a Si− P coupling constant of 20 Hz in the 29Si{1H} NMR spectrum. Square-Planar Rhodium(I)-silyl Complexes. The formation of 7 according to Scheme 3 suggested that the monohydride 8 should be an efficient starting material to prepare square planar rhodium(I)-silyl derivatives in a general manner.

triphenylsilane to the toluene solutions of 8 leads to the transdihydride derivatives RhH2(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiEt3 (10), SiPh3 (11)), which release molecular hydrogen to afford the rhodium(I) complexes Rh(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} (SiR3 = SiEt3 (12), SiPh3 (13)). The reductive elimination of molecular hydrogen could take place in a similar manner to those shown in Scheme 3 or via a protonation−dehydrogenation mechanism, as reported by Brookhart for a related PNP-Ir system,24 catalyzed by traces of H2O. The trend of 10 and 11 to lose molecular hydrogen is in contrast with the behavior of 4 and RhH2Cl{xant(PiPr2)2} and consistent with the inertness of the monohydride 8 toward molecular hydrogen.6

In this case, the greatest deviation from the best plane through the rhodium, silicon, P(1), oxygen, and P(2) atoms is 0.1198(4) Å for Rh. The Rh−Si bond length of 2.3090(8) Å compares well with that of 7. In agreement with Figure 5, the 31P{1H} NMR spectra of 12 and 13 contain at 46.0 and 44.7 ppm doublets with P−Rh coupling constants of 171 and 159 Hz, respectively, whereas the 29Si{1H} NMR spectra show at 25.0 (12) and 14.4 (13) ppm double triplets with Si−Rh and Si−P coupling constants of 54 and 19 (12) Hz and 66 and 21 (13) Hz. Catalytic Monoalcoholysis of Ph2SiH2. The square planar rhodium(I) complex 7 is the entry to an interesting rhodium(III)-silylol species. Treatment of its fluorobenzene solutions with 1.2 equiv of NaBArF4·2H2O (ArF = 3,5bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), at room temperature, for 1 h results in chloride abstraction from the silyl group and the formation of the five-coordinate hydride-silylol derivative [RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]BArF4 (14). Its formation can be rationalized according to Scheme 6. The chloride abstraction should initially afford the silylene intermediate F, which could subsequently undergo the heterolytic addition of an O−H bond of water to give the hydride-silylol derivative. Complex 14 was isolated as a white solid in 76% yield and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure proves its formation. Figure 6 shows a view of the cation of the salt. The geometry around the rhodium atom can be described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid with the PiPr2 groups of the pincer in apical positions (P(1)−Rh−P(2) = 157.16(3)°, P(1)−Rh− O(1) = 83.47(5)°, P(2)−Rh−O(1) = 84.13(5)°) and inequivalent angles within the Y-shaped equatorial plane (O(1)−Rh−Si = 138.62(5)°, O(1)−Rh−H(01) = 156.0(12)°, and Si−Rh−H(01) = 65.3(12)°).

The 31P{1H} NMR spectra contain at 61.6 (10) and 59.3 (11) ppm doublets with Rh−P coupling constants of 126 and 120 Hz, respectively.

Tilley has demonstrated that iridium-silylene complexes are active catalyst for the alcoholysis of silanes.12c This prompted us to investigate the alcoholysis of the diphenylsilane promoted by 14 (eq 2), since its formation seems to take place through the silylene intermediate F. The reactions were performed in toluene at 32 °C, using 0.17 mol % of catalyst and silane and alcohol concentrations of 0.3 M. Under these conditions, alkoxysilanes HSi(OR)Ph2 were selectively formed in quantitative yield, after seconds or a few minutes, with spectacularly high turnover frequencies at 50% conversion (TOF50%), which range from 4000 to 76 500 h−1, and isolated in high yields between 71% and 92% (Table 1).

0.17 mol % 14, 0.3 M H2SiPh2, 0.3 M alcohol in toluene (5 mL) at 32 °C. Turnover frequencies [(mol product/mol Rh)/time] were calculated at 50% conversion.

Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, as well as phenol were successfully used. For primary alcohols, the reaction rates increase as the length of the carbon chain increases, that is, in the sequence methanol (run 1) < ethanol (run 2) < 1-butanol (run 3) < 1-octanol (run 4). The secondary alcohols 2propanol (run 6) and cyclohexanol (run 7) yield the corresponding alkoxysilanes with TOF50% values similar or higher than 1-octanol. Although the reactions with the tertiary t-butanol (run 8) and with phenol (run 9) are also very efficient, these substrates afford the lowest TOF50% values, 18 000 h−1 and 4000 h−1, respectively. The selective monoalcoholysis of the silane is notable and fully consistent with the participation of a silylene species as key

presence of the hydride ligand, the 1H NMR spectrum, in dichloromethane-d2, at 233 K shows at −17.43 ppm a double triplet with H−Rh and H−P coupling constants of 39.4 and 12.5 Hz, respectively, whereas the OH- resonance appears at 3.25 ppm as a broad singlet. As expected for equivalent PiPr2 groups coordinated to a Rh(III) center, the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum at 233 K contains at 52.1 ppm a doublet with a P−Rh coupling constant of 119 Hz. The silylol group displays at 26.1 ppm a double triplet with Si−Rh and Si−P coupling constants of 32 and 7 Hz, respectively, in the 29Si{1H} NMR spectrum at 233 K. 12113

SiClR2 oxidative addition to MH{xant(PiPr2)2} intermediates. According to the higher oxidizing character of the 4d metals, the rhodium species lose molecular hydrogen and, as a consequence, the addition of the H−Si bond of silanes to the square planar monohydride complex RhH{xant(PiPr2)2} leads to square planar d8-silyl compounds Rh(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2}, in a general manner, through the corresponding d6 intermediates MH2(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2}. Interestingly, the abstraction of chloride from Rh(SiClPh2){xant(PiPr2)2} in the presence of water yields the five-coordinate d6-species [RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]+, as a result of the addition of an O−H bond of water to the Rh−Si double bond of a silylene intermediate. In agreement with the participation of the latter in the formation of this cationic compound, it is a very efficient catalyst precursor for the selective monoalcoholysis of diphenylsilane that reaches turnover frequencies (TOF) at 50% of conversion up to 76 500 h−1. In conclusion, the Rh{xant(PiPr2)2} metal fragment favors unsaturated d8-square planar, Rh(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2}, and d6five coordinate, [RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]+, silyl complexes whereas the Ir{xant(PiPr2)2} metal fragment stabilizes saturated d6-silyl derivatives, IrHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} and IrH2(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2}. The stabilization of saturated d6Rh{xant(PiPr2)2} species seems to need the presence of a coordinated π-donor ligand such as chloride.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Information. All reactions were carried out with rigorous exclusion of air using Schlenk-tube techniques. Solvents (except fluorobenzene that was dried and distilled under argon) were obtained oxygen- and water-free from an MBraun solvent purification apparatus. The alcohols used in the catalytic reactions were dried by standard procedures and distilled under argon prior to use. 1H, 13C{1H}, 31 1 P{ H}, and 29Si{1H} NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker 300 ARX, Bruker Avance 300 MHz and Bruker Avance 400 MHz instruments. Chemical shifts (expressed in parts per million) are referenced to residual solvent peaks (1H, 13C{1H}), external 85% H3PO4 (31P{1H}), or external SiMe4 (29Si{1H}). Coupling constants J and N are given in hertz. Attenuated total reflection infrared spectra (ATR-IR) of solid samples were run on a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum 100 FT-IR spectrometer. C, H, and N analyses were carried out in a Perkin-Elmer 2400 CHNS/O analyzer. High-resolution electrospray mass spectra were acquired using a MicroTOF-Q hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany).

intermediate of the process. The nucleophilic attack of the alcohol to an η2-silane complex, M(η2-H-SiR3), has been considered an alternative manner of generating silylethers.25 However, such possibility cannot justify the selectivity observed in this case. Furthermore, it should imply the heterolytic cleavage of the H−Si bond, which should require an electrophilic metal center, and this does not seem to be the case of Rh(I).26 It should be also noted that in contrast to standard methods involving the treatment of silylchloride with an alcohol in the presence of a base that generates hydrochloride salts byproducts,27 this process is environmentally benign and occurs with liberation of molecular hydrogen. The catalysis can be rationalized according to Scheme 7. The reductive elimination of HSi(OH)Ph2 from 14 could initially afford the rhodium(I) intermediate G, which should oxidatively add diphenylsilane to give H. Thus, the elimination of molecular hydrogen from the latter through I could lead to the silylene F, which should form J in a similar manner as 14. Then, the reductive elimination of the alkoxysilane from J could generate G again.

CONCLUDING REMARKS This study has revealed that the square planar d8-complexes MCl{xant(PiPr2)2} (M = Rh, Ir) oxidatively add the Si−H bond of tertiary and secondary silanes, along the O−M−Cl axis with the silyl group directed toward the chloride ligand, to give d6-chloro-hydride-silyl derivatives MHCl(SiR3){xant(PiPr2)2} and MHCl(SiHR2){xant(PiPr2)2}. Complexes containing secondary silyl groups undergo a Cl/H position exchange to afford dihydride-chlorosilyl compounds MH2(SiClR2){xant(PiPr2)2}, through Cl-SiHR2 reductive elimination and subsequent H12114

Si{1H} NMR (59.63 MHz, CD2Cl2, 233 K): δ 26.1 (dt, JSi−Rh = 32, JSi−P = 7). Reactions of Alcoholysis of Diphenylsilane Catalyzed by RhH{Si(OH)Ph2}{xant(PiPr2)2}]BArF4 (14). In a typical procedure, the alcohol (except PhOH, that was dissolved in 200 μL of toluene) (1.57 mmol) was added via syringe to a solution of the catalyst (2.6 × 10−3 mmol), H2SiPh2 (1.57 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) placed into a 25 mL flask attached to a gas buret and immersed in a 32 °C bath, and the mixture was vigorously shaken (500 rpm) during the run. The reaction was monitored by measuring the volume of the evolved hydrogen with time until hydrogen evolution stopped. A representation of gas evolution versus time is included as Supporting Information. The solution was then passed through a column (silica gel) to remove the catalyst. Removal of the solvent gave the silyl ether. The product was analyzed by 1H, 13C{1H}, and 29Si{1H} NMR spectroscopy. Spectroscopic Data of the Products of the Monoalcoholysis.

Structural Analysis of Complexes 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 14. Crystals suitable for the X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow diffusion of pentane into solutions of 3 and 6 in toluene, of diethyl ether into solutions of 14 in dichloromethane, and by slow evaporation of benzene (7) or pentane (9 and 12). X-ray data were collected on a Bruker Smart APEX (3, 6, 7) and Bruker Apex II CCD (9, 12, 14) difractometers equipped with a normal focus, 2.4 kW sealed tube source (Mo radiation, λ = 0.71073 Å) operating at 50 kV and 30 (7, 12) or 40 (3, 6, 9, 14) mA. Data were collected over the complete sphere by a combination of four sets. Each frame exposure time was 10 s (7, 14), 20 s (3, 6), 30 s (9), or 40 s (12) covering 0.3° in ω. Data were corrected for absorption by using a multiscan method applied with the SADABS program.29 The structures were solved by the Patterson (Rh atom of 3, 7, 12, and 14, and Ir atoms of 6 and 9) or direct methods and conventional Fourier techniques and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F2 with SHELXL97.30 Anisotropic parameters were used in the last cycles of refinement for all nonhydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms were observed or calculated and refined freely or using a restricted riding model. Hydride ligands were observed in the difference Fourier maps but refined with restrained bond length. One of the benzene crystallization molecules of 7 and two of the CF3 groups of the BArF4 anion of 14 were found to be disordered. These disordered atoms were refined isotropically with restrained geometry. For all structures, the highest electronic residuals were observed in the close proximity of the metal centers and make no chemical sense. Crystal Data for 3.
